“Funny thing is, they’vebeen trying to get pregnant even before they were engaged,” a source tells Entertainment Tonight. The source also shared that the mommy-to-be has been "tired and emotional."
During an interview with People magazine in December, Peta and Maksim opened up about their family plans. “I would like to start [having kids] pretty soon,” she said. “A little boy, and then a little girl.”

He continued: “I’m not just looking forward to the next 20 years. I’m looking forward to the 20 years after that, when the kids are out of the house and it’s just the two of us again. I can't wait."
